双城记

《双城记》故事发生的时间是1775年，在巴黎的一家酒馆的楼上的一间屋子里坐着一位白发男人，他正忙着做鞋。他曾在巴士底狱当了18年的囚徒。现在他已是一个自由人了，然而他却不知道自己的名字，也认木出他的朋友。他所知道的就是他必须继续做鞋。 在一辆去巴黎的车上坐着路营，这是他从未见过面的女儿。路营把她父亲带回了伦敦，在女儿的爱心和照料之下，他忘掉了过去并学会了重像一个自由人那样去生活。 然而在法国大革命的暴风雨年代，过去既没有消失也没有被忘掉。于是不久过去的危险秘密地把路营和她所爱的人们带回了巴黎……那儿恐怖的死亡机器——断头台正饥饿地等候着法兰西的敌人们。 查尔斯·狄更斯是英国最伟大的作家之一，他1812年出生于普茨茅斯，1870年去世。他出身贫寒，但在不幸的童年过后，他很快便变得富有和成功。在他众多的著名小说中有（雾都孤儿）、（远大前程）及（圣诞欢歌）。

It was the best of times，it was the worst of times，it was the age of wisdom，it was the age of foolishness，it was the epoch of belief，it was the epoch of incredulity．it was the season of Light,it was the sea- son of Darkness．it was the spring of hope，it was the winter oI de-spair，we had everything before us．we had nothing before us，we were all going direct to Heaven．we were all going direct the other way-in short，the period was so far like the present period．that some ot its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received，for good or for evil，in the superlative degree of comparison only．
